| Summary: | At the latest since the great success of his book 'At the Edge of the World' (Kehrer 2015), the French photographer Alain Laboile is well known around the world among connoisseurs of black and white photography. In this photobook, he once again provides insight into the free and nearly fairytale-like life of his family in a small village in the southwest of France. Far away from social constraints, school stress and Facebook, it always seems to be summer here, and his six children frolic barefoot in an enchanted garden, in which one encounters cats, grass snakes and even a fawn. Nevertheless, rules do indeed exist, even in fairytales. We also see how the children are homeschooled, sensibly and lovingly, and often outdoors. 'Summer of the Fawn' is a beautiful, vivacious and at the same time melancholic ode to childhood and life. |
